sp. nov., isolated from the desert of Xinjiang, China Free

Abstract

Two Gram-negative, rod-shaped, gliding and pink-pigmented bacterial strains, X14-1 and X19-1, were isolated from a mixture of sand samples collected from the desert of Xinjiang, China, and characterized by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Strains X14-1 and X19-1 contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone. The major cellular fatty acids included iso-C, iso-C 3-OH, summed feature 3 and summed feature 4. The DNA GC contents of strains X14-1 and X19-1 were 48.2 and 48.9 mol%, respectively. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the isolates were highly related to each other (99.2 %) and confirmed their placement in the genus . Strains X14-1 and X19-1 exhibited 16S rRNA gene similarity levels of 95.0–97.2 % to the type strains of the two species with validly published names. DNA–DNA hybridization experiments revealed a high level of relatedness between the two new isolates (82 %), but low levels of relatedness between strain X14-1 and the phylogenetically most closely related species KMM 6156 (51 %). On the basis of genotypic and phenotypic evidence, strains X14-1 and X19-1 are considered to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is X14-1 (=CCTCC AB 206081=NRRL B-51097).
